Downtown Beautification

"I have to get a kick out of everybody getting upset about this little gas station down on Lincoln St. What a beautiful building and a piece of Loveland history and I'm wondering why the people that run this town ... if they're considerate about the beautification of downtown, why don't they start with that eyesore of a Feed and Grain building; either trash it or tear it down or something. That thing is the absolute pit of ugliness."

"Regarding Tuesday's RH (Line), what a cut on the LPD. I wonder what bad experience with the LPD the commenter had? I've worked with LPD officers at a large medical facility and have found them to be top-notch and professional but human when they need to be. It's a tough job but I admire the dedication, courage and devotion to keeping us safe. It's a very professional department. They kick out the unprofessional and undesirables."

Fire Hydrants

"Yes, to the person who wrote about the fire hydrants and the Boy Scouts painting them. I don't think they can do that because the city of Loveland once a year is supposed to take flow checks and air pressure checks at each hydrant and paint them accordingly to what pressure and flow they have different colors. ... I know that Little Thompson Water District does that yearly. They keep on top of everything. City of Loveland can't do that. They also don't care of the potholes or the streets so why do we pay them? The Boy Scouts can do that and maybe show the city of Loveland how to stay on top of jobs."

Heartbroken Obama

"I read that Obama was heartbroken over Fort Hood. He was so heart-broken that he went from there to a fundraiser. For the first time in my adult life, I am ashamed of my president."

Contraceptives

"There is a higher law that many people and companies want to live by without going against man's law. When this free country passes conflicting laws, then the only resort is to fight to get the conflicting law overturned or rewritten. In this case, I too wonder why it is government's responsibility to see to it that contraceptives are provided to its individual citizens."

Chick-Fil-A

To the caller who no longer patronizes Chick-Fil-A: I had never had one of their sandwiches but after the flack several years ago when the liberals tried to crucify them for expressing free speech, I have been eating there at least once a week. Their restaurant is one of the busiest in Loveland."

7 million people

"Concerning the caller in Wednesday's RH Line, I found it humorous that someone believes Obama's statement that 7 million people have signed up for Obamacare. Even the well-known political comedians stated their doubt. I never in my lifetime thought that we as citizens would have to sort through the news to determine was is fact and what is propaganda."
